The IWC Commission expands the conversation beyond terrestrial restoration and into aquatic biodiversity and governance. Even where Elizka’s work is basin-rooted, broader aquatic systems remain relevant to how ecological stewardship is understood.
This event helps us track how conservation, science, and governance are evolving in international settings and what lessons may transfer to freshwater and riparian systems.
It also reinforces our interest in environmental management that sees ecosystems as connected rather than isolated.
